well, for me it was Coach Walsh taking over the William and Mary men's xc/tf team that made me quit. The past few years of W&M's program since he took over speak for themselves.

I'm not trolling.
When I was a junior, (I graduated HS in 2006) there was a freshman who ran a 4:14 (or 4:15?) I believe that same year. I ran a 4:25 as a freshman 2 years before he did. Yea, I made that "mind-blowing" time up just to troll randomly on the internet. NOT.

It depends what you mean by quit running. I don't think I'll ever quit getting out for a short run on the trails every now and again (at least until I'm physically unable to do it), like a handful of runs a month, but I don't think I'm ever going to put forth a serious effort to get faster again. Does that mean I have quit running?
After I have reached my limit in running, I would hang up the spikes on a good note and put in a few miles here and there, but nothing too serious.
I tore my meniscus. The physiotherapists at the University of Birmingham repeatedly told me I hadn't, that it wasn't possible from how the injury happened, that there was no clicking sound etc. They refused to refer me for an MRI scan. When I swapped to out of university physio, he referred me an my meniscus was torn (exactly as I suspected and they had told me I was wrong over and over) and it needed surgery. I had the surgery, but afterwards it tore again, and I had repeated knee problems, the biomechanics of which led to a serious foot injury. That got worse and worse until I couldn't walk.
I was essentially housebound for three years because I couldn't put weight on it or walk for more than a few minutes. So running was out of the question.
